Paid 10 dollars to get my ass to the polls for Hillary

So worth it, it felt good. I even livestreamed it which may or may not be allowed in MD (and if you get to see it you may hear me shouting FUCK YOU TRUMP AND FUCK YOU COMEY), and on the way coming out I saw a little Black girl with her parents jumping up in the air shouting "Hillary!". Maybe i'll be voting for that little girl in 40 years? Our current and next president are sure going to make that just a bit more likely.

Gotta say, that vote felt pretty good. Fuck the fascists.

lol shaun king

Shaun King has been shilling for the alt-left all season and making up flat out lies because he wanted to appeal to politically ignorant white kids who hate the "Democratic Establishment".

I'll trust him again when he gets back to actual reporting.

Question: I'm inbetween jobs right now

But I expect to be employed shortly as a federal contractor. Is it okay to donate to Hillary at the moment?

I've studiously avoided donating to any campaign because of that.

The problem with "leftism" is

for a movement to liberate the working class, I sure don't see many working class people in it. The socioeconomic base of the American "Far Left" is largely the children of the wealthy white bourgeoisie who are just repeating the ideas of long-dead thinkers without having the social roots to really understand. In retrospect, I don't know how the idea that doing all your organizing work in a demographic space that is among the MOST privileged in American society (aka college campuses full of middle class white kids) wasn't laughed out of the room.

This is the core issue, and until that strategy gets fixed, we're going to see these clashes between POC and the "activist left" for some time to come.

Hillary is Aragorn at the Black Gate or at Minas Trith

let's ignore the obvious discordances of that speech for now but that's the mental image that comes to mind - our champion of the Light against the fascist darkness on the Right.

Can't ask for a better champion for defending the rights of the downtrodden and vulnerable (especially since Barack can't run again and Michelle doesn't seem interested)

Don't watch the mainstream media for the convention

C-Span or livestreams. The networks are shilling to cause drama and disunity around our candidate. They want it to be "close" for better ratings, and they know damn well Trump can't beat Hillary in a fair race.

I hate to go unskewed polling up in here

But these "Trump winning" polls are really fucking fishy. Compare 2012 to the current reality.

Trump won't even get 6% of the black vote probably which is what Romney got. I doubt he breaks 15% of Hispanics (Romney got 27%). Trump likely wins fewer white women than in 2012 (Romney*won* white women). There just aren't enough voting white males. POC have grown more numerous not less.

I'd love to see the crosstabs. If the white sample is higher than 75% I call shenanigans.

Don't rule out the idea that some of these "Bernie delegates"

Are paid Trump (or more alarmingly, paid Putin) shills. It wouldn't be the first time authoritarian/totalitarian regimes have used populist/dissident/leftist movements as a tool of their foreign policy. Now that we know that a foreign dictator is very likely actively trying to rig an American election, you can't rule out *anything*.
